This season, Public Studio is giving audiences a chance to discover bold work from early-career playwrights.

Max is a trans guy who recently transitioned, and to celebrate, the men of his family decide to throw him a big Super Bowl party. But what if the guys in his family aren't the kind of men he wants to be? MJ Kaufman’s MASCULINITY MAX follows Max as he stumbles through dating, makes awkward missteps living in a collective house, and works at a bike cooperative, all while struggling with the gender traps he once fought against.

From playwright MJ Kaufman, a recent alum of the Public’s Emerging Writers Group, and director Dustin Wills comes MASCULINITY MAX, a new comedy that explores how to live as a man and still be a good person.

Public Studio was founded with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Time Warner, Inc. Continued support for Public Studio is provided by The Time Warner Foundation. The Harold and Mimi Steinberg New Play Development Fund at The Public Theater supports the creation and development of new plays.
